The second session of VMS (Vilnius Media
Seminar) has taken place in Vilnius Art Academy
on 19th of February (2007). The topic this time
was "Strategies of tactical media: noise makes
sense". At first during the seminar the
tactical media as a concept was presented and
then the significance of tactical media in
Eastern Europe was discussed. The key speakers
were Alexei Krivolap [BY] and Benjamin Cope [UK,
PL]. The moderation was held by Vytautas
Michelkevicius. At the moment we are publishing
audio files and pictures from the seminar and in
a meanwhile we are going to publish the
presentations as a working papers here as well.
One remark/footnote: Oleg Kireev has just
published a great book in Russian about Tactical
Media ("Povarennaya kniga media-aktivista" - "The
cookbook of the media activist", Ultra Kultura,
Ekatarinburg 2006).
There were around 30 participants in this
seminar. Alexei Krivolap presented the situation
of tactical media in Ukraine and Belarus. He
screened two tactical media pieces: the serial
from Belarus "Web-master & Margarita" which is a
remake of very popular russian soap opera
"Master & Margarita" and tactical media pieces
from Ukraine - "Funny Egs".
"Master i Margerita" is also the title of a great
novel by Mikhail Bulgakov - it belongs to the
best pieces of writing about Stalinism I know ;-)
Bulgakov completed it in the 1930s, but it was
only published in the Soviet Union in 1966 (well,
a censored version)
Many greetings,
Inke
